Are people getting Afib a year after the Vax? Suppose it is possible Watt did get a recent booster though

All of the heart issues likely had some degree of truth, because the vaccine created the same conditions of response to the virus as natural responses to viruses. This worry ends pretty quickly (like the vaccine's effectiveness, generally).

Only idiots or propagandists shite post like OP about the vaccine.

I have recently had Afib/Atrial flutter, likely a remnant of cutting my laft atrium in half to replace my mitral valve 12 years back.

My heart rate suddenly jumped up to over 140 beats perminute and I was throwing 10-12 PVCs a minute. Pain, Trouble sleeping, etc.

They put me on Amiodarone for three months, with no relief and then decided to put me to sleep and shock me back into rythm. Had that not worked, the next option was an ablation.

They said they hit me three times and everything popped back into normal rythm. Afterwards, they cut my amiodarone medication in half and sent me on my way, with occassional updates, in addition to my normal cardiologist visits for my artificial mitral valve and pacemaker.

Been fine for a while now, except last month they announced the 12 year old battery in my pacemaker is crapping out and sometime in the next three months I have to go in and have them pull the pacemaker, replace the battery and then sew it back in.

I do know lots of things can cause Afib though. Mechanical, electrical, age, drugs, poor quality parts, bla bla bla.

Seems to always be something. Better than getting really personal with the funeral home guys I guess.

age and hypertension are the biggest factors. sleep apnea, binge drinking can cause it etc. its one of the most common heart conditions, so clearly its vaccine AIDS and something the world has never seen before covid vaccines.

You are a retarded, broken record. I can't imagine being this obsessed over something.



Why is EarlyCuyler a retard? It's definitely not the vaccine because it occurred prior to that.

A fib is actually more common in people who are very well trained athletes.

My mom went into a fib about a month ago. She is older so it’s not uncommon. However, the first thing the cardiologist asked was did she get the shot. Her answer was of course “yes doc, I had both” He says “ weeeellllll, we’re seeing this a lot now. Not sure if it’s the shot or Covid, but it’s definitely something we’re seeing more of.” I was there. shite pissed me off. I didn’t really have a position on the matter until that.

I had AFIB in my mid 40’s. The folks that have Afib learn that there are triggers. My trigger was artificial cheese flavoring. No kidding, I ate some cheesy poofs and went into Afib.

It was progressive and I had to have the procedure done (cryoablation). It was fairly simple and so far I’ve had no more episodes 5 years later.

Who else does it occur in? What other risk factors contribute to the occurrence of AFib?

Hereditary, drinkers, those with sleep apnea especially, the elderly. Not a big deal if it’s isolated. It’s all about what burden of AF he has. The big thing is if you have long episodes (over a few minutes in duration), you need to be on blood thinners as it’s a common source of blood clots which leads to stroke

Dad has had Afib forever, seems to have gotten worse since his second bout with Covid. But he’s also getting older and drinking more. Idk. Cardiologist says it is under control.

A fib is very common. It was common 20 years ago too.

But dont let that take away from your narrative

Yep. Very easy to control with meds and other strategies. Tons of people live with AF

12 yrs is an excellent run. You’ll be fine, the changeout is a day procedure, you’re usually on your way out a few hours after walking in the door
